QUICK PLUG & PLAY
Place the STREAM AMP on a solid shelf
close to a mains plug, with enough available
headroom above, under and around, for the
optimum efciency of the Bluetooth and
WIFI antennas and proper ventilation of the
amplier.
Connect 2 or 4 loudspeakers to the
STREAM AMP. For a single pair of
loudspeakers, use SP1 (right speaker) and SP2
(left speaker) binding posts.
CAUTION: be assured that all “+” inputs are
effectively connected to “+” outputs as well as
all left outputs to left inputs.
Impedance range selector:
Position “I” (factory preset): power output is 2
x 50 W or 4 x 25 W RMS for loudspeakers with
a minimum impedance value below 6.4 ohms.
It goes down to 2 x 25 W and 4 x 12.5 W for
loudspeakers with minimum impedance value
above (or equal to) 6.4 ohms.
Position “II” : use this position to get 2 x 50 W
or 4 x 25 W RMS with minimum impedance value above (or equal to) 6.4 ohms, for instance
Cabasse Antigua IW or Archipel models.
Connect the power cable to the STREAM AMP, plug it to the mains and position the POWER
ON/OFF switch on "ON". STREAM AMP is ready to play when the LED
1
turns on. Press key
1
either on the STREAM AMP or the remote to get STREAM AMP on.
NOTE: the DLNA mode of STREAM AMP is available when the PWR (Power) LED has turned
from red to green, around 40 seconds after powering on the STREAM AMP.

Settings of the loudspeakers outputs .
Press
to select between the 4 possible set-ups:
- 1 STEREO pair of loudspeakers (default mode). The SP1, SP2, STEREO LEDs are on.
- 2 STEREO pairs of loudspeakers. The SP1, SP2, SP3, SP4 and STEREO LEDs are on.
- 2 loudspeakers playing MONO. The SP1,SP2 and MONO LEDs are on.
- 4 loudspeakers playing MONO. The SP1,SP2, SP3,SP4 and MONO LEDs are on.
Before rst use, loosen the screw (PH00 screwdriver), remove the back cover, remove the battery
protection tab, replace the cover, retighten the screw.
Replacement of the CR-2025 type battery in the Stream remote control: loosen the screw, remove the
rear lid, remove the old battery and load the new battery properly with the "+" side on the clasp side,
put the rear cover back on, retighten the screw.

ANALOG INPUTS 1 AND 2
Select an audio source tted with an analogue output, either RCA or mini-jack type.
Get a RCA/mini-jack if the source is tted with a mini-jack output.
USB INPUT
Plug in an USB stick or a hard-drive to this input to get all the stored audio les available on
the domestic network. All the audio les, under formats compatible with the built-in DLNA
server of STREAM AMP, will be listed in the Stream Audio Control apps and can be played
by any Cabasse Stream player connected to the same domestic network. The USB input is
tted with a 1 ampere power output enabling the use of a portable hard drive with no need
of an external power supply.

with
8
key on the Stream remote or on the Stream Amp. If a Bluetooth source is already connected
to STREAM AMP, disconnect this item before selecting a new one.

CONNECTION AND USE OF STREAM AMP WITH AN APPLE COMPUTER: see the English version
page 39.
INSTANT NFC BLUETOOTH CONNECTION WITH A NFC SMARTPHONE
1) Installation of the Cabasse NFC application
a) Enable the NFC function in the set up of the NFC smartphone.
b) Check/activate the wi or 3G connection of the smartphone to Internet.
c) Touch the smartphone together with the NFC patch
10

32
LAN WIRE CONNECTION TO THE ETHERNET NETWORK
The LAN wire connection ensures a constant and optimum transfer rate. Use it if music reproduction
stops or is erratic under Wi-Fi mode, because of a saturated Wi-Fi bandwidth or the distance between
the router and the Stream unit being too long.
Use a RJ45 type cable to connect STREAM AMP to the domestic router.
The connection is running when the blue LED “ETH” stops ashing and remains on.
ATTENTION: set up the router on DHCP mode.
Press "RESET" before starting a new
connection process (wired, auto, easy,
manual) or connecting to a new router.
WIFI DIRECT MODE
Wi-Fi direct allows to play with wi quality all the audio tracks available in the tablet or the smartphone
as well as those availble in the hard-disk or USB-stick connect to the USB input of STREAM AMP,
without need of a wi network. Internet sources such as Vtuner, Deezer and the STREAM AMP rmware
updates are not available.
Activate the STREAM AMP, Install and open the Cabasse app on your tablet/smartphone and select
"Use this device in standalone mode" instead of "congure this audio device". Follow the instructions
and start playing your music.
33
DLNA (WLAN) WIRELESS CONNECTION TO THE WIFI NETWORK
THERE ARE 2 SOLUTIONS TO CONNECT
STREAM AMP TO THE WIFI NETWORK:
1) WPS CONNECTION: push the WPS button of the wireless router for
2 seconds or more and push the WPS button of the STREAM AMP within
around 2 minutes (check for precise delays in the router's manual). The
connection is completed when the blue LED "WIFI CONFIGURATION" is
on. Now go to page 41 to install the Cabasse application.
2) EASY WI-FI CONNECTION WITH THE CABASSE STREAM APP
& with a smartphone or tablet wi- connected to the domestic network.
a) Install the Cabasse Stream App on an Android or Mac tablet or
smartphone from “Play Store” or “App Store”.
b) Switch the STREAM AMP on or press the reset button if already on. Activate the Wi-Fi in the
“settings” application mode of the smartphone or tablet.
c) Select STREAM AMP among the available items and launch the connection.
d) Launch the Cabasse Stream app. Once connected to STREAM AMP, select STREAM AMP in the
available wi networks list and follow the set-up instructions.
Note: from phase b), you may open the Cabasse application and follow the instructions of the online
guide, which is launched automatically when connecting for the rst time.
e) The Wi blue LED on the back of STREAM AMP ashes for around 30 seconds.
f) The Wi blue LED stops ashing and remains on: press on “Close This Window”. STREAM AMP is
now ready to play all the shared audio les in your network as well as all the web radios proposed by
vTuner.
CAUTION! An automatic update of the rmware might start as soon as
STREAM AMP is connected to the Web. The
9
LED turn to white and
ashes for 5 to 15 minutes until the update is fully completed.
Do not try to use STREAM AMP during the update, wait until STREAM
AMP has restarted, when
9
